There is no support for public folders. For me, this alone would be
the killer preventing me from using it instead fo Entourage.
Hopefully
this will be added in a future update.
If I were Apple then I'd not bother to implement public folder
support. Why
bother when it is practically end-of-lifed in Exchange Server 2007?
While it
hasn't been killed in Exchange Server 2010, development has pretty
much
ceased and it's getting harder to implement.
End of Life? No, not really. It is 'deprecated' and sysads are
recommended to use Sharepoint as an alternative. For many sysads
that's rather like telling them to use a Boeing 888 to get to work as
an alternative to the local bus.
Sharepoint has a huge Hardware, financial and maintenance overhead
that is totally unnecessary for the vast majority of uses of Public
Folders. No way am I going to install a Sharepoint server to replace
my public folders.
No, Public Folders will be around for many years yet, and for a lot
(probably the majority) of exchange installations they are used, and
heavily used at that.
